This will be the problem. GTK2 is in /usr/local

OK, I did this with the appropriate substitution, and got:

aclocal: /usr/local/share/aclocal/libxml.m4: 10: duplicated macro
`AM_PATH_XML'
aclocal: /usr/local/share/aclocal/libxml.m4: 204: duplicated macro
`AM_PATH_XML2'

which seemed to stop it dead.

I still know nothing about the build system...
